465 Premier League and Europe

The second round of the Champions League group stage is here.

The Amsterdam Athletic Stadium is packed under the night, and the atmosphere in the stadium is hot and lively.

Qin Xiong, who walked out of the players' locker room, felt strange when he arrived in the stadium.

Because he had never walked into the visiting team locker room on this stadium.

In the player channel, he first saw defender Grigra. He took the initiative to walk forward and hug Grigra with one hand and greet him, Vermullen, De Jong, Pinal, Babel, and Stekrenberg. Finally, he walked forward and saw Sneider and Galasek, who is now the captain.

Sneider said to him seriously: "Be careful today, it makes the Ajax people unhappy, beware that you can't get out of Amsterdam."

Qin Xiong laughed at it and hugged Galasek and returned to the Arsenal column.

When the players from both sides lined up to enter the court, Qin Xiong suddenly saw some fans in the stands slogans: "Welcome home, Chinese Xiong!"

There must be a large number of Chinese fans in the Netherlands in the stands, but the mainstream is still local fans of Ajax, and there are many fans who have always supported Qin Xiong. They will not forget what Qin Xiong brought to Ajax in the previous season. It was a spectacular scene that may be rare in ten or twenty years. The pictures left in memory will never be forgotten and will never be mottled and blurred.

Qin Xiong stood in the stadium with his head high. When the ceremonial side introduced the players of both sides, after calling Qin Xiong's name, there were warm cheers on the scene. The Ajax fans' novelty of welcoming Qin Xiong back is sincere. They are very happy to witness Qin Xiong's performance on the scene with their own eyes, even if he returned here as an opponent.

Qin Xiong restrained his inner emotions and tried his best to isolate himself from the influence outside the field. Whether it is good or bad, even if he is moved at this time, he must suppress it in his heart to avoid problems in the game.

His friends in the Netherlands, both young and old, came to the stands. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiweiya chose to sit in the VIP seat to watch the game. Georgia and Zeller stood in the stands of the home team fans. Although Georgia worshiped and supported Qin Xiong as always, he was on the side of Ajax, just like his father, the deceased Mr. Slot.

"The second round of the Champions League group stage in the new season is about to begin. Ajax is at home to face the Premier League giant Arsenal. The two teams are really destined to be together. In the past four years, there has been only one season that the two teams have never met. In the previous confrontation, Ajax has a clear advantage. He once blocked Arsenal from the quarterfinals in the second stage of the Champions League group stage. He eliminated Arsenal in the 1/8 final the previous season. Although the two teams met again this season,

Because it was the group stage, it was not as fierce as before. The situation in this group was clearer. Ajax and Arsenal were popular for qualifying. Thun and Sparta Prague were significantly less competitive. Ajax was tied by Sparta Prague away in the last round. The result was not too bad. After all, he was away. He challenged Arsenal today. If he could maintain unbeaten at home, Ajax still had the chance to compete for the top spot in the group.

The atmosphere at the scene tells us that Ajax fans are welcoming an Arsenal player. Yes, it was Qin Xiong, who won the MVP in the Champions League final last year. He helped Ajax win the triple crown in the 2003/04 season, and the highest of all was naturally the Champions League championship. More than a year later, when Qin Xiong returned to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium again, he wore an Arsenal jersey, but Ajax fans still welcomed him back.

Let's take a look at the list of both sides.

Ajax 433.

Goalkeeper: Stekrenberg.

Defenders: Grigra, De Jong, Vermullen, Emmanuelson.

Midfielders: Galasek, Pinal, Lindberg.

Forwards: Babel, Hunterlaer, Sneider.

Arsenal 451.

Goalkeeper: Lyman.

Defenders: Ebue, Toure, Sendros, Flamini.

Midfielders: Reyes, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Forward: Henry.

Well, the game is about to break out, and Ajax will take the lead in kickoff."

After all, Ajax is still the one who always insists on 433. Even if the opponents they face are stronger than them, they will not waver. It is precisely the persistence of offensive football that makes Ajax special.

At the beginning of the game, Ajax immediately instigated a threatening offensive.

After Van der Fate left, Pinal became the midfield commander. He quickly and accurately passed the football. Sneider was similar to a midfielder in the frontcourt and played similar to Pire's role in Arsenal's wing.

At the beginning, Sneider used his skillful footwork skills to make Ebue suffer a big loss. After Ebue was nimble and sneid, Sneider did not play a cross or continued to break into the penalty area. Instead, he unexpectedly passed the backwards back. Lindberg, who followed up, dribbled into the penalty area under the panic of Fabregas and made a cross.

Hunterlaer was sensitive to running and found an opportunity to shoot. Sendros made his last effort to block the horizontal tackle. The football hit his calf and produced a refraction and flew into the stands, only less than 30 cm above the crossbar!

"Ajax almost broke through Arsenal's goal at the beginning! Hunteral's shot was blocked by Sendros and was refracted, and the football will fly over the crossbar and into the stands."

Fabregas felt unprecedented pressure.

The Premier League is the Premier League, Europe is Europe.

After he got used to the simple and crude way of playing in the Premier League, he seemed a little unbearable when facing Europe's delicate passes and cuts and richer offensive propulsion methods.

Ajax has always been a representative team for triangle transmission in offense. Premier League teams rarely play unexpected triangle transmission, and they are in continuous offensive state.

Sometimes Premier League teams are like bulls who can't turn back. They move forward all the way, without passing back or adjusting and transferring.

The delicate changes in the offense of many European teams with strong technical and tactical strength are unimaginable.

Even though Ajax's overall strength has declined, his technical and tactical literacy is still at the forefront of Europe, which is closely related to their entire youth training system, first-team training system, and football philosophy.

Today is a test for Fabregas.

Ajax's corner kick failed to create a threat. In turn, Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack fast attack. Lindberg consciously blocked Qin Xiong, while Pinal and Galasek joined forces to defend, striving to form an encirclement to curb Qin Xiong.

In the midfield, Qin Xiong did not wait for the opponent's encirclement to form, and immediately transferred the ball to the left of the frontcourt. Pire tried to break through Grigra, but failed. This reminded Pire of last spring's game, which was against Ajax. He and Lungberg almost never broke Grigra and Maxville with their personal strength on the wing. (To be continued)
